Miro's Comments: Greasy pools. tomato sauce beyond the cheese. I can't help but think Cafeteria pizza. That said, I liked my cafeteria pizza in high school
Elizabeth's Comments: Greasy and uneven cheese coverage.

Miro's Comments: A decent coating on the piece I got, but only mild flavor. A shake of parm is much needed.
Elizabeth's Comments: A lot of it but stringy, greasy, and not
much flavor.

Miro's Comments: Not much sauce on this piece, but what there is ... is fine.
Elizabeth's Comments: Sugary sweet. My sauce nemesis...but there is an every three or so bite hit of basil or oregano.

Miro's Comments: Not overcooked, not undercooked. Not flavorful, but not lacking flavor
Elizabeth's Comments: An interesting combo of too limp to hold up the grease/sauce/cheese, yet a yummy flaky, delicate taste when you get the outer edge.

Miro's Comments: I think this is the first review we've ever done where I've written this without knowing the price. This is the kind of pizza about which my opinion will entirely come down to the price.
Elizabeth's Comments: With the nice delivery boy and the quick delivery, I was hoping for more from the actual pizza (and that makes me sound like an old lady...)

Miro's Comments: Plenty of cheese but it has that round thing that makes it seem like it was stamped out of a machine.  Where is the love?
Elizabeth's Comments: Not all that cheesy and has that fake, overly round look.

Miro's Comments: I had to drive this thing home, I am now sweating oregano. 
Elizabeth's Comments: I was worried when I walked past the box because the overwhelming "stinky feet" smell but up close it's not as strong.  There are also hints of herb.

Miro's Comments: Apparently I need one of those warming bags when I'm picking up a pizza to drive it home. 
Elizabeth's Comments: It's freezing, but, we picked it up.

Miro's Comments: Plenty of it on my slice and a blend that has nice cheese flavor.  Half a point off for lack of toasting on top. 
Elizabeth's Comments: Not that much of it and it's super chunky, not stringy.

Miro's Comments: Real flavor in the sauce.  There is the love.
 Elizabeth's Comments: I like that it has real tomatoes but it also has some not pleasant flavors and smells that I can't identify.

Miro's Comments: Really disappointing.  Not much crunch or chew, it's more like a soft flatbread.
Elizabeth's Comments: Super flimsy and not totally cooked.

Miro's Comments: Impressive and tasty, but not quite All-Star.  I think in the future I may order a pie well-done and it may be the perfect pizza.
Elizabeth's Comments: Meh.  Some unusual tastes I can't identify, a lack of cheese, on a flimsy, undercooked crust.

Miro's Comments: I was trying so hard to be a perfect delivery guy on this one, apparently it is an art I can't master, I always get the pizza home cold.
Elizabeth's Comments: Our living room smells so bad!
